SET LR premium booking fees clarification

Post by bigben1982 » Mon Apr 24, 2017 8:32 am

Dear forum experts,
Couple of days earlier,I tried to do premium booking in May for set LR.The cost was 2887 GBP for a single person with no dependant.If I look at the long term residency sections in UKBA website,it shows 2375 GBP for permium booking.
Could someone please explain me?Do they charge extra depends on the premium centres?I tried to book it for the normal working hours at Cardiff.Thanks.

The fees went up on 6th April. The fee of £2375 is is the old fee prior to this date. The fee for premium service centre is the same regardless of which centre you wish to attend.

As you have not posted the link of where you saw this outdated information, I cannot comment (note, it is UKVI and not UKBA anymore).

Likely an oversight by HO technical team.

You will need to pay the new fee as per the fees link I posted.
